[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

Is he talking about... the engagement?

Yes, he said the same thing when I met Geto Suguru before.

Next winter would be the day when Gojo Kazuma would fulfill the promise she made to Gojo Kazuma after she was sent to the Gojo family by the Huai family: "If you change your mind, we can still hold the engagement ceremony."

Should we say that Gojo Satoru is naive or stupid?

It was just a polite remark. Did he really think that the people of the Gojo family were willing to let her take the position of the wife of the Six-Eyed God?

The deal between her and the Gojo family was clear: one billion in exchange for the only life-replacing spell that bound her to it.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, being able to become Gojo Satoru's wife is a great thing, a blessing that can only be earned in several lifetimes.

He has a distinguished family background, outstanding abilities, and a handsome appearance... He is even of the same age as her.

Even in a society where no magicians live, he is still a wealthy husband that everyone would fight for.

Not to mention the world of sorcery where combat prowess is respected?

Besides, her existence itself is a treasure.

By becoming Gojo Satoru's wife, she can obtain his protection and be isolated from those hyenas who have bad intentions and regard her as "consumable".

But for Yu Huailiang, nothing is more precious than "freedom".

Even if her life was not at stake in the mission of 'saving the world', she had no intention of staying there obediently until the engagement ceremony - and then being embarrassed by the Gojo family.

Even if Gojo Satori went against the crowd and strived for success, she had no intention of becoming the wife of the Six-Eyed Goddess - she did not want to become anyone's vassal.

Huailiang is Huailiang, and she is her.

And now... maybe the opportunity has come.

The shrine where Gojo Satoru took her to fly the sky lanterns was located in a remote area behind the mountain. Huai Liang sat obediently on the stone bench, took out her cell phone, and pretended to be bored and killing time.

However, the words that came into her eyes made her pupils tremble:

"Sorry, the situation has changed. The magician killer cannot arrive at the scene today to complete the commission."

"The deposit will be refunded to your account at triple compensation. We are very sorry for the inconvenience."

Huailiang: ???

Is this something that can be solved by triple compensation? She finally managed to get out!

She placed her bet on Fushiguro Shinji because she saw that he was short of money and had a good reputation for accepting commissions.

And in order to avoid complications and being noticed by the Gojo family, she didn't even make any other Plan B plans - did she let it slip when she was told on the spot?

Huai Liang still looked calm and composed, but the frequency of her tapping on the phone keyboard highlighted her inner anger:

"Can you tell me the reason? I don't accept order cancellation without reason."

Kong Shiyu also responded quickly:

"I'm very sorry, but the Sorcerer Killer was unable to arrive on time due to family reasons. His child had a high fever and was rushed to the hospital for care."

Is... Megumi Fushiguro sick?

Huailiang secretly calculated that at this time, Fushiguro Megumi was only over 2 years old and still in infancy. It would be very dangerous if she had a high fever.

Seeing that Fushiguro Shigeki took good care of Hui, her anger subsided a little.

As the saying goes, blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

Just as she was thinking of the words and preparing to tell Kong Shiyu and keep in touch, something strange happened.

A black semicircle shaped like a water ripple covered the entire back mountain.

Someone had set up a tent, fearing to alert the non-magicians in the front yard of the shrine—a curse-maker was coming for her.

Almost at the moment they discovered the change, the magicians of the Gojo family surrounded Huai Liang from all angles. As she expected, the two sides soon started fighting.

Various techniques were used frequently, creating sparks and lightning all the way.

The attackers have far more men than the Gojo family's guards, and if the war continues like this, things will be very bad.

This week, her Tianyi Sect was not selling communicators, so the magicians of the Gojo family could not contact the outside world for support.

The forces that wanted her life had indeed spent a huge amount of money - she found at least two curse masters who had the fighting power of a first-level magician.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran away.

Even though Huailiang has been practicing very hard in private this week, he is still only at the level of a second-level magician.

In a head-on battle, how could one survive the encirclement and hunting of these desperate criminals?

Fortunately, because she was extremely wary and suspicious of Tianyuan, she devoted herself to practicing the method of breaking the barrier, which came in handy now.

She was protected by the Gojo family, fighting and retreating. When the first Gojo family magician fell, the battle entered a fierce stage of life and death for both sides.

Fortunately, she has always shown weakness.

The outside world only thought that she was just a "weakling" with a weak "blessing" ability and had been bound to the only life-saving spell, and did not take much precautions against her.

So, Huai Liang saw the right opportunity, found a clever gap, and quietly opened a hole in the barrier of the tent with his hands behind his back.

Then, using less than 10% of his mental strength that had recovered, he gritted his teeth and activated the shadow shuttle.

After a few rises and falls, it disappeared into the heavy shadows of the back mountain.

Huailiang cursed Fushiguro Shinji for being unreliable while holding back the strong smell of blood in his throat.

The cost of death is too high.

After her death last week, the system couldn't even reshape her original body, and instead threw her back to the body of Gojo Satoru's original fiancée several years ago.

However, was it because it ran out of energy because it went back too long? Or was it because it stripped her spirit body and saved her life?

She had not forgotten that she was on the verge of death before crossing over in the first round, but the system did not show the above state...

Could it be because she conquered the main characters, modified the world line, and also had the purpose of "charging" the system?

All of this was based on her blind guesses, and the system she was bound to usually didn't even fart when she tried.

Apart from being able to occasionally trigger future scenes, there was very little help she could provide in other areas.

Now she was in a life-and-death situation, and she started running for her life. She called the emergency system, but there was no response from the other party - it was as if she was dead.

At the critical moment of life and death, Huai Liang was still thinking about how to break the impasse. He definitely couldn't just rush into the crowd at the foot of the mountain.

Her shadow shuttle cannot allow her to stay in the shadow for a long time. She can only use the shadow to change positions, and she is facing the situation where her mental power is about to be exhausted...

Since the enemy has already launched an ambush, the entrance and exit of the Kakumei Shrine must be guarded.

Moreover, her mental power was about to reach its critical point, and her sudden appearance in front of the non-magicians would probably cause even greater chaos.

The only option now is to hide in the temple and hope that the magicians of the Gojo family can delay it a little longer.

And...Gojo Satoru can come back as soon as possible.
